Chen Palace

Chapter 116 The end of the month
The queen mother didn't look at her, and gently stirred the silver spoon in her hand, allowing the snow-white and crystal-clear body to whirl and float. She stared into the void and said slowly: "Wang An and King Ping will take the lead, and all the vassal kings will join hands. This undercurrent is surging in the government and the public, and their plans are not small."

The queen was a little relieved, and said sarcastically: "Those two princes were born by concubines, don't they know how to restrain themselves now?"

The Empress Dowager's complexion darkened, and a cold light brightened in her eyes.

"They relied on the favor of the late emperor, why did they put our mother and son in their eyes?!"

She thought of the days of the first emperor, those two concubines who came from humble backgrounds, she felt disgusted and grabbed the handkerchief tightly.

The empress looked at her words and said with relief: "In the heart of the late emperor, he still loved his mother the most, and the two princes were expelled to the fief at such a young age—the thoughts of the late emperor are self-evident."

She thought to herself that this remark was appropriate, but unexpectedly there was a burst of cold anger on the Empress Dowager's brows, and her temples throbbed. The Empress panicked and called the maid to massage the Empress Dowager's heart, and it took a long time for her to recover.

"Do you think... the first emperor favored our mother and son?"

The Empress Dowager was lying on the couch, her snow-white face was hidden in the darkness, she asked with a light smile, her laughter was clear, like snowdrops falling to the ground, but it was extraordinarily cold and eerie.

The queen felt that something was wrong, she lowered her eyebrows and lowered her hands, and didn't speak anymore.

The Empress Dowager covered her face with a fan, her posture was elegant and calm, she sneered, as if she was very happy: "The first emperor Yuan Xu..."

She whispered this title from her lips and teeth, like a fiery murmur between lovers, and like a venom born from the nether world——

"He was afraid that something might happen to the two princes, so he let them surrender early... He really loves our mother and son!!"

She murmured word by word, and when the empress touched her cold eyes, she shivered unknowingly, and was secretly amazed by this secret.

"The world sees us as superior and magnificent, but they don't know how much bitterness is in it..."

The Empress Dowager sighed, and continued: "Don't mention me, these two concubines, even my younger brother, your uncle King Xiang, is also very restless..."

After hearing this, the queen realized what she meant when she said that the Lin family was in danger.

The Empress Dowager sighed sadly, and snorted coldly: "You are fighting around like a black-eyed chicken, thinking that I am old and useless?"

Her thin fingertips drew a notch on the handle of the fan: "Let's just wait and see..."

When Ping Wang's envoy came, Jing Wang Yuanzhi was holding a chess piece, staring at Qinghe in the pond, dazed.The master who was playing chess carefully bowed and reminded: "My lord?"

"I see."

On Jing Wang's handsome face, there was a sneer that was not easy to detect. He stretched out his hand to shake the chessboard, got up and said, "What kind of wind blows the fourth brother to show up?"

The master said: "Prince Ping is cunning, the prince should not take it lightly."

King Jing smiled freely, and said quietly from the green shade: "This king is not someone who is easy to be with."

The envoy followed the boy who led the way through the atrium, bypassed several Qiongyu pavilions, and came to the garden.

It was noon at this time, but the garden was verdant and full of tranquility. Under the green trees and vines, there were faint spots of light, but it was not hot. King Jing was sitting under the tree, gazing at a pool of clear lotus. , leisurely drinking tea.

The envoy saw King Jing for the first time, but saw that he was lazily enjoying the cool, he didn't seem to take it seriously, he felt a little annoyed, and said in a deep voice: "My Highness sent a villain here to greet King Jing for a thousand years!"

King Jing waved his hands casually and said with a smile: "In my garden, there is no need to be formal."

He motioned slightly, and the ice-cold food box was presented like a stream of water from the crowd, the messenger did not refuse, he kissed his lips slightly, but felt the cold piercing his bones.

"The summer is scorching hot, His Highness lives in secluded places, so leisurely and leisurely, it is really beyond the reach of gods..."

The envoy clicked his tongue in admiration, and finally turned the topic back to his own intention: "My Highness is always anxious, walking on thin ice!"

Jing Wang smiled and listened, and said lightly: "It's natural to be calm, the fourth brother is too anxious!"

The envoy burst into a smile, met King Jing's eyes, and said without evasion: "Is this what you have seen, my lord?"

Jing Wang said sharply: "You are so brave, do you dare to be so presumptuous in my garden?"

The envoy bowed to the ground and said: "How dare a villain, the prince and a wise man worry a lot, and there must be a mistake, and the villain laughs because of this."

"Oh... would like to hear more about it."

"The lord thinks that he can add fuel to the fire when he enters, and watch the fire from the other side when he retreats, so he can be happy... But my highness has two words that I want to bring to the lord."

King Jing's eyes flickered slightly, only to hear the emissary softly say: "A sage has an heir, and the order of the state is passed on... If a prince is born today, can the prince still be so safe?"

King Jing listened quietly, without any disturbance on his face.

But the envoy came closer and said in a low voice, "My Highness has one more sentence..."

He clung to King Jing's ear, and after finishing speaking quietly, King Jing was finally moved in horror——

"It's so?!"

He breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment, and said decisively: "I can only beat the side drum for your master..."

The envoy smiled in satisfaction: "It's enough to have the prince's words."

King Jing glanced at him, and sighed: "Your master hides behind King An and shoots these dark arrows, his ambition is very small!"

The emissary smiled and said respectfully: "My Highness really dare not have any wrong thoughts, but the emperor persecuted him too much, so he discussed it with a few uncles and brothers as a last resort. If you enfeoff the land as king, you will be satisfied."

Jing Wang responded lightly, and said with a smile: "You should tell the emperor, what's the use of telling me?"

"Otherwise," the envoy smiled obsequiously, and said more respectfully, "My Highness said that His Highness Prince Jing is siblings at this time, and when we meet next time, maybe there will be a separation between monarch and minister."

Such rebellious words were uttered, but King Jing seemed to have never heard of them, and he didn't care: "The fourth brother made fun of it... May I ask the messenger, when is the fourth brother's appointment?"

"At the end of the month, it's time for the Great Dynasty."

The envoy's words were like thunder, but King Jing didn't hear the thunderous sound. After sending the envoy away, he smiled and meditated under the tree.

The master tentatively asked: "My lord, do you want to continue monitoring Ping Wang's subordinates?"

King Jing smiled, rearranged the chess pieces, and said: "No need...the emperor must have sent someone to watch it, and now we are going to join in the fun, but we are just exposing our strength."
